Great info, thanks!

I tried to subscribe , but , RU-vid says I have too many subscriptions !!!! Keep posting gardening videos !!!! I'll keep watching !!!! Thanks !!!!

Looks great!

Just an FYI, purple cayenne peppers still ripen to red. I love them. They're not as long as a normal cayenne, but I seem to get more of them to fully ripen than I do other cayennes.

I love watching gardeners share their spring ambitions.

I’m trying Kellogg’s Breakfast and Ananas Noire. I’m excited about the latter because of a panel of 3 did a taste test and that was the one on the top of a tasters list. It looks interesting. I’m still a bit old school in I like my carrots orange, tomatoes red and potatoes white. I planted about 50 different varieties of tomatoes last year and wasn’t impressed by many. I’m trying to find the best heirloom varieties so I can save seeds. The prices are going up and my main concern is the flavor of everything seems to be heading toward the sweetest tasting on everything. I want true tomato flavor and the acidity is getting bred out and they don’t keep well. Hope I figure it out this year as the variety I’m looking for may be non existent. There are really a ton of names flying around and they all can’t be ‘heirloom’. I just think they are backyard crosses. Squash we’ve decided we like 3-Waltham, Buttercup and acorns. I think vegetables taste different in different soils and people have different tastes. I’ve heard Delicata and sweet meat were good-Yuk! Some smell like raw green pumpkins and the sweet meat have no idea but it was mushy and awful. I do have one more I will try-Lakota because it may stave off the vine borer. Rugosa Violina was very similar to Waltham and huge and that one survived borers so we do have that one also. We have tried other veg people rave about like, San Marzanos, shishito and Jimmy Nardello peppers and all were productive, but flavor didn’t shine on any and Marzanos were small. Not a fan of dark/black tomatoes. I found there was a lot of waste from cracking on some heirlooms and others didn’t keep well at all. Still on the hunt 😊. You will love the pink sunrise calendula. I just tried several varieties for first time and they are my new fav for fall color and Wow! They are tuff. They survived several frosts when the green on marigolds fried. I credit calendula and borage for bringing back neighbors bees to the hive👏🏼👏🏼. Did the carnations from MIG and they weren’t the strongest or largest I’ve ever grown. The dahlia seeds were numerous and strong from them. Trying to winter over in new experimental above ground root cellar, but don’t think I will continue with them because of all the work. If I do keep dahlias it would have to be particular color I like. I have sooo many seeds I saved and bought. It was fun running into a box from Renee’s Garden seeds as I kept forgetting I stocked up on a sale😅. The one thing I have learned about trying new flowers is some don’t have enough time in my Z5, WI to perform. 😂I thought there was a giant weed growing and let it grow and it was a Tithonia-two flowers popped just before frost😂-Whoopi! Another lesson I learned is our winters are getting too warm for winter sowing and think many sprouted and froze or rotted. I’m glad I kept a few seeds of some perennials and will start them inside this year. So wanted Russian Sage and Sea Holly and glad I kept some seed and hope they are still good. It’s so expensive to buy grown plants. Thanks for mentioning your grow zone. I find it beneficial when it’s posted on videos. 😂😂Speaking of tomato varieties the Sun Good everyone raves about. Yes, they were tasty, But, I tasted a late season gold and it tasted exactly like a grape and the same texture😂. Not something I expected. So when I talk about veg going sweet that’s a good example. I will try a low tunnel for peppers. I wish I had overwintered the Tabasco as it was another plant that needs longer season. They just started ripening and the frost hit. We had a terrible gnat and aphid problem last year during seed starting and I will start most later and in greenhouse. I think it will be better because it’s cooler. I will still need to start some flowers, peppers and onions inside. Those bugs were awful, never had aphids ever and the only plants they didn’t like were geraniums, rosemary, onions and petunias. They loved the peppers and celery and it was impossible to get rid of them. I tried everything until I could take them outside and sprayed horticulture oil on them did they all go away. I’m paring things down in the veg department to the ones we Really enjoy. Once we have the varieties that are prolific and taste/store well there will be more time for landscaping plants. I believe I direct sowed calendula and I rarely buy plants so couldn’t say if the nurseries have them. Smart to get own root roses. Those are my kind of roses. I just did late fall planting-it was a landscape project I’ve put off for a decade. Rabbits, deer eat everything and will next find a way to disguise a fence. So happy with how it’s turning out and now the statues don’t look like they dropped from the sky.😊. Hope the two varieties of redbud trees survive. Landscaping is quite difficult when there are so many things to watch for in placement of plants. I think I got it right though.

Johnny seeds has Juliet tomato seeds.

I love seed hauls 🍅🌶️🍆🌽

I love seed hauls! Great Video! ❤

I've noticed that some seed packets state that the seed company already stratified the seeds. Most don't state that but, I believe they probably use cold storage.

You can get Amish snap pea at seed savers

Thanks for sharing! Yes! I have used white yarrow dried to stop bleeding. It's also good for headaches and fevers.

I love heirloom seeds/plants. I'm going to have to do a seed haul video. Love watching these. New subscriber!

Thank you for sharing! I'm looking forward to following your garden adventures. I did have to laugh about your take on the Lemon Basil. I feel the same enthusiasm about the Lime Basil. I am from SE FL (FLOGROWN) originally and most of my life. We used to have orange, grapefruit and key lime trees in our yard. Sun tea always had key lime. I still drink tea hot and cold and prefer lime to lemon. I do grow Lemon Basil for my mother who prefers lemon. Both basils are great for refreshing summer drinks, warm winter teas and flavoring meats, salads (green, potato, etc.) and fresh pasta/rice dishes. So, so good! Looking forward to seeing your giant pumpkin!!!

Ananas Noire is my very favorite tomato. Give it extra calcium, as they tend to get bottom end rot. Dr. Wyche's is another favorite. Lots of great flavor. Lemon Basil is so wonderful and bugs do not like it.

Zones have nothing to do with frost dates. They are based on average minimum winter temperatures.

I have seen cslendula plants sold as an annual. I think Proven Winners and Annies Annuals carry them online

Caribe and Leisure are very slow bolting cilantro.

Where is the best place to store your seed collection I see that you had your box in your unheated shed.

Brrrrr

Yarrow is used for … fevers, and also helps with palpitations, painful menstrual periods, and convulsions; as well as being of use as a peripheral vasodilator, diuretic.

Oh wow! you will be very busy this spring!!! looking forward to it!!

Thank you for the reminder that I need to get my garden planning started!

Awesome seed haul 🎉

Hi! I’m new to your channel. You popped up on my feed today, I’m guessing because I love seed hauls. I also love Juliet tomatoes! It’s interesting because a few years ago, during Covid, I couldn’t find seeds for Juliet tomatoes and I ordered from Reimer Seeds. Nothing I got from them germinated. Fortunately, I’ve been able to find the seeds from other companies. I grabbed my catalogs and these are the one I saw that have the seeds and it doesn’t include some companies that only have online catalogs: Johnny’s, Fedco, Pinetree Garden Seeds, Jung Seeds, John Scheepers Kitchen Garden Seeds, and Tomato Growers Supply Co. all list Juliet tomatoes in their catalogs. While I haven’t ordered from a lot of these companies, this will give you a place to start looking. I’m in northern Illinois, in zone 5B so probably pretty similar to you. Our last frost date is usually around Mother’s Day. This last year, I downsized to a duplex, so my yard is much smaller now. I need to make all new garden plans. Your organization method is helpful to me because I’ve always just organized my seeds according to the type of vegetable. Your method sounds like it would save a lot of time and make it easier to remember what to plant. One last thing, my ex-husband is a music teacher and opera singer and my mom and one of my aunts were singers, so my life has always been full of music. ❤
